Getting ready for Glastonbury

... or rather, not getting ready for Glastonbury, simply getting in a right old state about needing to get ready for Glastonbury.

Tent, clean pants, a jumper and a load of cash. What more could you need?

Head torch, definitely. Wellies, the weather forecast is patchy. So a rainproof coat as well. But not my new one, what if it gets nicked. Sun hat. Sunscreen. Towel. Sleeping mat. New plastic mat to carry around and sit on that we got for the beach in Brighton.

New Harry Potter book. Another book in case it's all too exciting. Evening Primrose Oil. Toilet paper. Water bottles x several. Face wipe things. Shampoo etc in case of shower opportunities. Scarf for hair in case of no shower opportunities.

Umbrella? Or is that silly. Pen, I always forget a pen. Mobile phone. Calor Gaz lamp thing that's dangerous in the extreme but really handy. Stove and kettle or is that wishful thinking.

Alcohol? Does this count as a holiday from Living Healthily? Flaxseed oil to keep bowels moving to new higher standards.

Liz's Womad gazebo that she might lend us. Any point in that? Will we be hanging out by the tent much?

Flip flops? Old ones or new sparkly ones? Or sensible Scholl sandals that can walk miles in but are v uncool. Any attempt at cool, or straight for sensible?

Special festival neck purse.

Moisturiser.

Alarm clock for early shifts (am campaigning for Make Trade Fair, camping in staff field, v good option)? No, phone can do that. Actually, there's 24 hour food and drink in that field, so definitely no kettle.

So much to worry about, so little time.

I'll be checking this list tomorrow night as I'm packing.

And by Wednesday night I might even have calmed down a bit.
I'd have made a shit hippie.
